"The win was an emotional one for Rast, who competed wearing a black armband in remembrance of the victims of the recent fire in Crans-Montana. The Swiss skier hails from Vétroz, just 20 miles from the resort, and dedicated her victory to the victims and families, stating in her post-race interview that she hoped her win gave a smile to those at home during this difficult time."
"For the United States, Moltzan's third-place finish marked her seventh career World Cup podium and a timely rebound after two DNFs the previous weekend. Skiing smoothly on firm, grippy snow under clear conditions, Moltzan put together two fast, composed runs to reassert herself among the world's top giant slalom racers. "I'm really happy," Moltzan said after the race. "It's nice to come back after two DNFs last weekend and be back on the podium. It's a confidence boost that I still belong here.""
